What use will you all have with the PowerVixxen? Will you use your
A1200's for embedded development?

It has the same CPU but is even slower since it uses the slow A1200
expansion port, unless you run it stand-alone.

As you can see the EFIKA is a perfect fit for a low-end OS such as
AmigaOS 4.0 or MorphOS. Neither of them demands anything from
the hardware. There's not much overhead anywhere which of course
will change when the OS'es get more features.

In their current states they will run just fine on the 400 MHz MPC5200.

The same use like my Classic currently has, or that I would make out of an AmigaOne or Pegasos (if I just had one): A nice, little, obscure, geeky toy that is fun to use.

Agreed, it's a bit slower than an AmigaOne or a Pegasos 2, but still, it's a hell of a lot faster than my BPPC. Come on, the apps that you will use on an Efika, an AmigaOne or a Pegasos 2 won't be _that_ different! Yes, maybe you can render faster, or watch the occasional DVD on the latter two, but that's it basically.

It's not performance that currently limits the usage you can make out of the system, it's rather a lack of proffesional software. So, looking forward to have at least a CSS-capable browser running on MOS soon!
